Special Screening:  She's The Best Thing in It....

The Equity Foundation &  The Arts Wellbeing Collective

She's The Best Thing In It 
An examination of the actor's craft and the sacrifices demanded by a lifelong career.
Veteran character actor, and Tony Award winner, MARY LOUISE WILSON, age 79, teaches her first acting class to skeptical members of the YouTube generation, smashing their red carpet illusions and challenging them to bring emotional honesty to their acting.
Wilson’s class takes place in New Orleans, where she was raised in the 1940’s. She reconnects with her competitive sister, and examines the scars of a painful childhood, a short-lived marriage, self-sabotage, alcoholism, and her reinvention, at age 60, as playwright and star with her acclaimed one-woman show about fashion icon Diana Vreeland.
Features interviews with FRANCES MCDORMAND, MELISSA LEO, TYNE DALY, ESTELLE PARSONS, CHARLOTTE RAE, VALERIE HARPER, and playwright DOUG WRIGHT discussing what it means to be a character actor, whether acting can be taught, what constitutes 'talent,' and whether the profession is harder for women.
What begins as a study of a profession turns into a meditation on loss, grief, growing older, and that elusive thing known as “stardom.”
